Stove Black and Polish

Williams Stove Black has been using the same proven formula for over 100 years. Although they've called this "polish" since the turn of the last century, it's more like wood stain for stoves. It comes out of the tube pure black, and you rub it on with a rag. It withstands high heat, and leaves the stove with a dull sheen that's more attractive and traditional than paint.

Semi-paste

Contains no chemicals, waxes or solvents

Just pure graphite and carbon

Odorless

Cleans up with soap and water

2.7 oz re-sealable tube

USA made

Note: This product works best on unpainted cast iron. May work on painted steel or iron stoves. Not recommended on unpainted steel.

"My recently restored 75 year old Copper Clad wood cook stove needed a rejuvenated top. Different oils did not seem to hold up, plus they smoked terribly. I scrubbed the cast iron really well with some steel wool and a wire brush as stated in the directions. Then sprayed some 409 household cleaner and used a lot of paper towels, taking my time and removing as much grime and oily residue as possible. Used a 1" throwaway paint brush as recommended by another reviewer, which works perfectly. Waited for a bit, then buffed with an old T-shirt from the rag box. I did this during the summer, so the polish had several months to cure. The first fire of the year produced a mild smell and a small amount of smoke. I placed a small fan so it would blow air across the top and out a nearby open window. Took about 45 minutes to complete. Result: beautiful early 20th Century charm."

"Makes our Dutch West Federal Black (no enamel) stove look beautiful in winter and preserves it through the humid summers.
Tip: use a throw away 1" paint brush to apply."

"Highly recommended! Our 30+ year-old wood stove looks new. Application was simple, clean-up is easy. We had to open all doors and windows during the first fire after application, but only that one time. I couldn't be more pleased with our results."

"My wood stove was looking very neglected but this polish works like a dream! It was easy to use, went on nicely and polished up beautifully! It washed up quite easily with just plain soap and water, as well. I love this stuff and will be ordering more!"

"We have a woodburning insert in our fireplace and use it regularly. The cast iron was looking worn and this product has brought back the luster and glow to the unit. And without any odor that can linger in the house! Would recommend to anyone."

"A few weeks ago I was desperate for a stove blacking that did not smell up the house. I ordered this on and it did a perfect job. My stove looks like new...so I ordered more for my daughter and myself."
